Ok, so here it is after long last. I've had my 1911A1 Milspec for over a month now, I think, and FINALLY got to the range to break her in.
Only put about 250 rounds through her, using the two factory mags and four of my Chip McCormick Shooting Star mags.
Of the loads, about 150 were 200gr flat point lead handloads, and 100 were 230gr ball remanufactured loads.
ALL fed great. Not a single functional hitch.
Accuracy: Firing right handed, supported, the POI was about 2 inches left and 2-3 inches low at 7 yards. Shooting with my left hand, unsupported, it was dead on. What's up with that? I also took my .357 and was firing it quite well, so I don't know what I was doing wrong.
The trigger broke clean after a little take up, but it's not bad at all. What was bad about it, was the vertical serrations leave the edges of the trigger are a bit sharp. It started to bug my finger a bit. (suggestions on a replacement trigger are welcome. Parkerized or blued finish preferred... I want to maintain the 'milspec' look as much as possible)
All in all, I am VERY VERY pleased with my Springfield 1911A1 Milspec.
